What the freak is the point of having a minor league affiliate that has such a horrible stadium, both for the fans and the players, that the organization refuses to allow their top prospects to even play there it's in such bad shape and fear of injuries? I mean, you have got a major problem when that happens. And since we skipped Zimmerman, it's something that's gone on for a half a decade without a fix.
They need to tear down that monstrosity and build a real minor league park, or else, and I hate saying this since Potomac IS so close, but move to another affiliate. That park is junk, just as a fan, from a fans experience. But when they refuse to play their big stars there, it's even worse for the players. What is/has it done to our organization with players not deemed "stars" that don't get the luxury of skipping that craphole? Anyone know of any players that have been injured playing at Pfitnzer, or suffered long-term, degrading type injuries? It's sickening to imagine that that craphole might actually be causing harm to the teams future by injuring our prospects, but clearly that's the case if they make our stars skip over A, which is usually the main area of development in the minors. God, why can't they just tear that damned place down and give Northern Virginia the minor league park it deserves. Sickening to think that with the economic influence of Northern Virginia, our minor league park is something Podunk, Nebraska wouldn't accept as a minor league ballpark. There's no excuse for it. And it's been this way for years, a decade even. With no real improvement. Tear it down. No rebuilding, no renovations. Tear it down, build a real ballpark, modern, 21st century style. Just get that blemish known as Pfitnzer off the Nationals organization, it's an embarrassment.
